Private investor and professional soccer team owner Gabriel Brener,
the scion of a Mexican industrialist, has reportedly floated his
leviathan limestone mansion in the hoitiest of the toitiest section of
Holmby Hills in Los Angeles, CA on the market with an elephantine asking
price of "more than $80,000,000."

The Wall Street Journal
reported late last week that the mega-mansion has 6 bedrooms that include a main floor
master suite while the Los Angeles County Tax Man shows the Neoclassical
Georgian monster manse measures a stupendous (but hardly
record-breaking) 22,396 square feet with 7 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.

This just proves how stupid Suzanne Sapperstein is. Petra Ecclestone would have bought her gaudy heap for 85 million if she didnt try and nickle and dime her on the moving costs. Sapperstein would be lucky to get 50 million now this is on the market right next door.

Anon 2:51 PM... Sapperstein has NO motivation to sell and move. As long as she is there ex-hubby foots all the bills. Why should she move? She lives in the lap of luxury, has to show the house now and then to make the ex happy. Good life for free.

hmm it says 35,000 sq.ft on the construction website? i'm no real estate know-it-all so there could be a reason for the discrepancy but 35,000 sq.ft might justify the enormity of the price a little more. is the extra 13,000 sq.ft basement space or something?

@1:35 I put in www.finton.com > projects > completed > 7th house and Bing directed me to a John Deered dealer in Zanesville, OH. I probably enjoyed looking at the tractors more than I would the house. :)

This is likely being shopped for at least double it's worth because that's how it's done in the ego driven Platinum Triangle real estate market. A home just down the street from this one has been reduced 50% in price since it was first listed and it's still for sale.

$80 million, really?You could buy up half the islands in the Bahamas for that. People in LA are on crack. No mountains, no ocean, no ponds, nothing but a few acres of land and smog for almost $100 million. No thanks.

These prices are ridiculous. Just because some brat with 3 billion dollars in a trust at her disposal paid 85 million for candy spellings house doesnt mean that anyone else would pay that much for a house.
